How many watts for 6850

Mind you that the System Wattage is measured from the wall socket and is for the entire PC. Below a chart of measured Wattages per card.

Overall this us much higher than reference, this is due to an increase GPU voltage to allow easy overclocking and the standard higher clock frequencies. Based on the Wattage we can now check how much a card like today will cost you per year and per month. Also make note of the fact that we explain what the GPU setup is costing you, not the entire PC power consumption.

Admittedly, in CrossfireX mode the power consumption is high, but really not bad at all. The more you overclock and tweak, the more power you will use, adapt to that, we always advise you to get a power supply that is more capable then you'll use, have some reserves, please, do not let a PSU be a limitation.

Lets be very clear; I did not attack you. I mearly gave my opinion based on what I read, based on my experiences. The fact it appears one-sided is unintentional, assuming you even feel that's the case? I assume that is how you view it given the fact you think I'm "attacking" you. I simply gave my opinions on your comments which is again, well within forum rules. If you don't like it, so be it, but to suggest I am attacking you is far fetched at best. I'm allowed to give my opinion just like any other member as long as I adhere to the forum rules.

You should have reported the posts you were unhappy with, and allowed us to deal with it. Once you've responded it makes it much more difficult to intervene. I stand by my original comments, you were retaliating back, so if you really want to push this, you'll both need punishing for it. Personally I'm far happy just leaving it as it is.

HK apologised to you for his actions, so I consider that settled. Whether you choose to accept it or not is none of my concern. I'm really not going to get drawn into an argument because your unhappy with the way I worded my comments to you. Your not going to get an apology from me for giving my opinion, or for suggesting you were acting just as bad in some of your replies.

Those are facts that everyone can see, and given that you did retaliate, pushing this will only mean that both of you are punished. Had you followed forum rules and reported the post the outcome might have been different, but you chose not to, so we are were we are now because of it. If you have anything else to say on the matter take it to PM, we have interfered with this thread and taken it off topic enough already.

AMD Radeon Adrenalin Power consumption Lets have a look at how much power draw we measure with this graphics card installed. Power Consumption Cost Analysis Based on the Wattage we can now check how much a card like today will cost you per year and per month.

Radeon HD - On your average system the card requires you to have a Watt power supply unit. Introduction Let's meet Bart We chose 3DMark03 Nature as a standard test representing typical 3D usage because it offers: - very high power draw - high repeatability - is a standard benchmark that is supported by all cards - drivers are actively tested and optimized for it - supports all multi-GPU configurations - easy to obtain - fairly compact in size - test runs a constant duration and renders a non-static scene with variable complexity just like any normal game.

The four result values are as following: Idle: Windows Vista Aero sitting at the desktop x bit all windows closed, drivers installed. Card left to warm up in idle until power draw is stable.
